[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting that most of those in favor of minors having "gender-affirming" surgeries and hormonal treatment are probably also completely aghast at the idea of Wyoming's marriage law - which currently has no minimum age.  In that case, you find it reprehensible that children could be married (I do too, btw).  You probably also know that it's considered statutory rape if an adult engages in sex with a minor.  Why?  Because according to the law, minors are not capable of consenting to sex with an adult.

And yet in this instance, you're claiming that a minor - a child - should be able to decide to have life-changing SURGERY and hormone treatment.  The cognitive dissonance is deafening.  [/quote]
You think that marriage between a 14 year old and a leering 40 year old man is the same thing as a child (who probably always presented as something other than straight, cisgendered kid) having multiple medical appointments with pediatricians, psychologists, endocrinologists etc? Huh. [/quote]

Once again, you've missed the point - which is consent.  Why is a child considered unable to consent in one situation, but not in another?[/quote]

I don't know, maybe because they're completely different. Do you let your child choose what clothes they wear to school? Oh no, how can you do that if they're not able to get married legally? Do you let them choose what to order at restaurants? But their brains aren't fully developed! [/quote]

And now it's you comparing apples to oranges.  Choosing an outfit or ordering at a restaurant is somehow akin to major, life-altering surgery?   :roll:  :roll: [/quote]
